They must only be watching for athletic ability, then, because many of the reads and throws he made were special.

I hear the BS from some of the talking heads such as Todd McShay, Charlie Weis, & Mel Kiper Jr. (fucking idiots in my opinion) saying he might be the next Tom Brady, I call bullshit on that.
Tua was considered a top 3 NFL pick, he isn't worth a shit. Mac Jones is no better than him. Alabama has a lot of great players who do well in the NFL, but not QB's, or fucking Trent Richardson.

Jones has enough athleticism to keep a defense honest. He has no elite physical trait, I'll definitely agree with that. Physically, he's average-above average across the board. It's his mental traits that are off the charts good. He reads and manipulates defenses like a multiple year NFL starter, and the anticipation throws he makes are like those of a multiple year NFL starter as well. If he continues to display those traits in the NFL, he'll be a lot more successful than his school pedigree or athletic profile would suggest. Hopefully WFT drafts him.
